Boleigh Fogou is a fogou near St. Buryan in Cornwall. It can be reached via the B3315 Penzance to Land's End road near The Pipers standing stones.[1] Iron Age pottery was found at the fogou along with carvings that may have been brought from elsewhere. It is unusual in structure as it has more than one entranceway.[2]

The Boleigh fogou was the subject of a 1996 episode of Channel 4's Time Team.[3][4]
